Thank you for all the kind comments and votes!

Jade - really appreciate your kind words.

mrsawyer - I had to stare at the photo for a while to understand your question. That is not a frame, but his fluffy cheeks! See, he's a long hair cat who just got his summer shave. They left his face furry.

Congrats on your high finish! Simply beautiful.

Question: What is outside that is framing your cat's head?

Congratulations on this beautiful shot - great composition, content, and lighting. Given the restrictions of the theme, it should have been higher.

I just knew this would do well (and I like the view too).

An attractive shot.

That is such a lovely shot, with the cat framed in the window. The view is spectacular, with those vibrant reds and greens.

I'm sure your cat is feeling just as we do but at least s/he has a sunny spot with a beautiful outlook.

Nicely taken.

Wonderful image. Ideally framed and the composition is perfect. High in my favs.

I tend to vote for the best photo regardless of the theme so long as it fits somehow. I don't know why but there is something compelling in this image. I feel I should think of it as a snapshot or at best a moment documented of value to the photographer but no one else, and yet, I like the skills displayed. The framing is natural and perfect, the subject is unusually turning away from the camera but purposefully so which also looks natural, and the viewer immediately intrinsically knows what the photographer and cat are feeling. Pretty good for a snapshot. My number one.

Nice shot - I hope that if you got out, you wouldn't chase birds.
